You’ve probably heard about the countless celebrities making headlines for visiting the island archipelago and thought its absurd. So, what makes the Maldives a COVID-19 safe holiday destination?

Natural Social Distancing

Maldives has a geographical advantage over other destinations with its unique islands. Each resort in the country nestles on its very own private island. This is usually referred to as the ‘one-island-one-resort’ concept.

So, as each resort is located on its very own private island, social distancing just comes naturally for holidaymakers. If privacy is what you’re looking for, the secluded resorts in this tropical holiday destination will not disappoint!

Enhanced hygiene and Safety Measures

The economy of the Maldives heavily relies on the tourism industry. Hence, the government of the Maldives took every step to ensure guests will have a safe experience when they visit the Maldives. Resorts in the country have also heightened their hygiene and safety measures.

On the other hand, employees in the tourism industry have started receiving the vaccination for COVID-19. Several resorts have already begun the process of vaccinating their staffs.

Less Than 0.20% of Tourists Tested Positive for COVID-19

According to the statistics, only 0.18% of tourists that visited the Maldives tested positive for COVID-19 from 1st January to 25th February 2021. Moreover, COVID-19 cases within tourists haven’t surpassed 0.40% in any months after the Maldives reopened its borders.
